Slack Integration

Before you can begin using the Instant Agenda integration with Slack, the Slack channel and an Instant Agenda meeting need to be connected. This must be done by an Instant Agenda meeting moderator following these instructions.

Once connected, two new commands become available in your Slack Channel: /meeting, and /addtopic.

The /meeting command shows you which Instant Agenda meeting is connected to your channel, and it provides a link to that meeting in Instant Agenda.

The /addTopic command allows you to create a topic in the connected Instant Agenda meeting. Just type /addTopic and then the content of your meeting topic. Once you hit Enter, you’ll get confirmation that the topic was added to the meeting. And, if you then go to the meeting, you’ll see that the topic has been added and attributed to your Slack user.
